ffnmottmsi Department. . Emblems of the Lime-kiln Club.? On motion of Calamity Hasting the matter of a national emblem for the colored race was taken from the table for discussion. J le favored a bee-hive himself, but would not be captious about it. Prof. Bannister favored the coon as an emblem. It represented industry, vigilance and courage. Colored people were often referred to as coons, anyhow, and the emblem would cut both ways. Trustee Pullback had given the matter much thought, but his preference was for an,old hen sitting on about thirty-four eggs. If that didn't represent industry and clear grit he didn't know what would. Samuel Shin had made up his mind that the only emblem he would vote for would be that of a colored man walking in a shady lane with a watermelon under each arm. Sir Isaac NVaipoie lavorect ine ngure 01 a black bear ; Elder Toots declared in favor of the beaver; Judge Cadaver would have nothing but the figure of a black man waving a plough in one hand, a threshing machine in the other, and crying " Yewreka!" The discussion promised to bring forth no fruit, when the President put a stop to it by saying: "Gen'lem, at a meetin' of de Committee on Harmony, Art an' Agricultrue, held in de library last night, an emblem was decided on. it am dat of an eagle seated on de fence between a co'nfield an' a 'tater patch, while his claws hold a banner on which am inscribed: 'Hard work will bring you plenty of both.' Detroit Free Press. Banking Intelligence.?He wanted a position in an Austin bank. The president was satisfied with his credentials, but before engaging him put him through a civil service examination. "Suppose now, a man was to come in here to deposit twenty dollars in bills, how would you count them?" "I'd wet my finger and lift up each bill until I got to the last one." "Why would you not lift up the last one ?" "Because thfere might possibly be one more bill under it, and if the depositor was to see it he would want it back, but if the twentieth bill is not lifted up and there should be another bill in the pile the bank makes it, don't you see?" "You will do," sill a i ne oanK prcsiueut. "You have been in the business before, but I didn't suppose you knew that trick."? Texas Sif tings. ! 4 ^ # Sabbath Keeping in Scotland.?Not many years ago a Free Kirk worthy, now at restj was engaged in his favorite pastime of fishing on a well-known salmon river in the north of Scotland, when he got into a conversation with a farmer, and asked him how the recently appointed Free Kirk minister was getting on in his parish. The farmer, after considerable hesitation, admitted that the reverend gentleman was not quite so great a favorite as he might have been, because it had been discovered that hs was in the habit of shaving on Sunday morning. "But," expostulated the piscator, "you might as well say that your minister was not to wash his face on Sunday." "Wash my face on the Sabbath!" said the farmer; "I haven't washed my face on the Sabbath for these five-and-twenty years!"? Whitehall Review. A Speculator.?Mrs. Webb was what is called an ambitious woman, while her husband was rather of the humdrum order. One day they were starting for a walk together. "My dear," said Mr. Webb, "It looks like rain. Don't you think we had better take an umbrella?" "Oh, no; we don't want to be bothered with it." "You take great chances, my love." I know I do. If I were a man I would be a bold speculator. I would never be content, like you, to do an ordinary humdrum business that would just bring me a living." An hour later the couple were standing in a narrow doorway with the rain beating fiercely in. r? "Hew- do I look?" asked Mrs. Webb. "Very much like a speculator, sharer of my joys and sorrows." # 4 # He Didn't Catch On.?In the days of old a young fellow stuttered and stammered and lay awake at nights, thinking how he should pop the question. We are quicker in this age, and I know one or two couples who never really mentioned it. They took it for granted that it was to be, and found themselves making an engagement to be married very much as if it had been an ap nointment to go to tne tneater. "inv ye ken whit they're savin'?" asks the blushing wScotch lassie of her backward wooer. "No; whit is't?" "They're say in' we're gaun to be married." "Are they? We'll cheat them," answers the laddie, and the blushes pale in the Caledonian cheeks.?Sun Francisco Chronicle. His Flock.?A Methodist minister tried to start a church in a Western town, but from lack of support had to give up the project. This was the peroration of his farewell sermon: "At the last day, the Lord will say to Saint Peter, 'Where is your flock?' and Saint Peter will answer, 'Here, Lord ;' he will say to Calvin, 'And where are your sheep?" andCalvin will reply, 'HereLord;' and so all the shepherds can answer. But when he asks me, 'Where are your sheen ?' how will you feel when I am compelled to reply, 'Lord, I haven't any ; mine were all hogs.'"?X. Y. TYibune. ftsT They were reading the old farmer's will, and the nephew, the principal inheritor, paying the closest attention to its principal provisions. Presently the notary came to the clause, "I bequeath to the servant that shall close my eyes 100 francs." "Hi! Hello there," says the heir, "just read that again, will you?" The notary complies. "That is ">0 francs saved anyhow," says the heir; "uncle only had one eye! Got the faithful domestic that time, didn't I ?"?French Fun.

She could not remember that she had done anything wrong at all. At last, after a severe examination, he asked her whether she could remember a sin of her past life. No. Anything she was sorry for?

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE I The present condition and future prospect? ! of no insignificant number of the hutnar family living in our midst, are calculated tc j awaken within us feelings which are akin ! to anguish. These people are poor. They j were born poor, and they live amidst the I ravages of poverty. Their houses are suffiI cient neither to keep out the pelting rain? of winter nor the scorching rays of a sum: mer's sun. The food upon which they subi sistisof the commonest kind, and it is doled j out to them in quantities barely sufficient t< j keep soul and body together. They enjoy ! none of the luxuries of civilization and very j few of its comforts. Viewing multitudes ol I the human family, with whom we come in j contact almost daily, simply as animal be I 111^.^ II Id 1 v;utiuui\;il 10U1I1J sit (VIV/M iwjivvir ' more desirable than that of the wild beast: of the forest, while with respect to the majority of circumstances which attend them, they are certainly less favored than the wild animals. For the greater part of their lives, the wild animals revel in abundance, but there are multitudes of human being: in every civilized land over whom poverty, as an armed sentinel, keeps constant guard. Wretched as is their present condition, it is made more wretched by looking into the future. The prospects even for this world are dark and gloomy, and only dark and gloomy. Not a ray of well grounded hope enters their humble cabins, or cheers their sad hearts. The indications are that these beings, in whose mortal bodies are immortal souls, will drag out a miserable life of poverty and shame and suffering, and at last, like so many useless animals, lie down and die and be forgotten. No marble slab ; no, not even a plank, will mark their last resting place. From their houses they will be carried out and buried, and that, so far as their connection with this world is concerned, will be the end of the matter. No tears of sympathy will be shed, and none, or very few of affection. This is a sad picture, but its saddest feature is yet to be painted. These miserable members of the human family live without God. Vice, in its most hideous form, lives and grows and fattens and attains huge proportions in those huts of squalid poverty. In those cabins which sin haserected as monuments of its ravages, the great arch enemy of all good keeps high carnival. The inmates of these wretched abodes have apparently no more religion than brutes. So degraded are many of them that they are not even superstitious. All the natural affections have died within their breasts and their souls are as gross and sensual as lust itself. What ground have we for cherishing the hope that when these heathen?heathen in * i -C -L 1 1 rue rscripture sense 01 uie wuru?puss awuv from their earthly troubles, that all their troubles will be at an end? There is nothing, so far as mortals can see, or God, in his word, has revealed, to base a hope upon. They have lived from the cradle to the grave in sin. Their lives have not only been godless, but they have lived without a god of any kind or character. They have paid divine honors to no being?not even an idol of their own heart. Of God, the maker and governor of all things, they know nothing and care nothing, except to blaspheme his holy name. Of Jesus Christ they know nothing and care less. Of the plan of salvation they are as profoundly ignorant as if there was no Saviour and no plan of salvation. How can they be saved ? Now the question proposes itself to our minds, "Who is responsible for this state of things?" At whose hands will God require the blood of these heathen?these human beings in Christian lands, who are living in misery and dying without hope? A voice, endorsed by many, is heard, saying: "These wretches themselves are responsible for all the misery which befalls them in this life, and threatens them in the world beyond the grave." This is readily granted. They are thriftless and improvident, hence poverty came upon them like an armed man. Admitting all this, has everything been done that is possible, to lift these poor miserable members of the human family in our midst out of their degradation, and place them firmly on the high plane of Christian civilization ? The truth is, so little has been attempted in this direction, that it may be said nothinsr has been attempted. We have fallen into the habit of stigmatizing these heathen, who live in our midst, as the offal of creation, and practically we treat them as if they were without souls either to he lost or saved.' We forget that what we are, we are by the grace of God. If we are better than these heathen, it is because we have been made better by the gospel of Jesus Christ. We forget that we have to go back, only a very short distance, into the past, in order to find our progenitors all that those whom we now neglect are. By nature, our heathen neighbors are as good as we are. Not only so, but in our veins courses the same blood which flows in theirs. What a glorious thing it would be if all the heathen?all the godless people of our country, were brought savingly under the powerof the gospel. It will be said by some croaking professor of the Christian religion, "That will never take place, it never can take place." It will be the proper time to make this bold and godless declaration when every effort has been made by every professed Christian in our land, to Christianize our heathen neighbors. For the temporal and spiritual condition of these heathen in our midst, the Church, in her united capacity, is responsible. To the Church Jesm Christ gives the commission to take the gospel, with all its saving power, into those places which are full of horrid wickedness. But as the whole is only what the parts ol which it is composed' make it, this duty of evangelizing the heathen in our midst, devolves upon each Christian, individually. If every individual would, in the matter, come up to the measure of duty, thing.would soon assume a different aspect, and that for the better. The miserable hovel would be torn down and a comfortable I dwelling be reared in its stead. The Sabj bath would be observed; God's name would | be praised instead of being blasphemed and I peace and plenty would take up their hubI itation in the land. Our poor houses and I jails, and our penitentiaries would be tenantless, and we would be permitted to see, I Willi i iu i 11 w it rtvm, unuiv ouuio ! brought under the power of the gospel and [ into the kingdom of Jesus Christ. This i? enough to stimulate every individual whc ! has a spark of grace in his soul, or a grain j of love for Jesus Christ in his heart, to go t< | work in earnest. In addition to this, (tod , | makes of us the solemn inquiry, "Where if : thy brother?" Shall we say we know not, , Aid I my brother's keeper?" Then will . Clod reply, "The voice of thy brother'.| blood crieth unto me." Let us all remem| her, that if those whom God has placed in | our charge are lost through our neglect, thai ! God will take no excuses. In fact, when 1 brought face to face with God, we will have ! no excuses to give. We will be speechless, j Our tongues will cleave to the roofs of oui I mouths. ^ Holding Back tiik Gospkl.?Col. Patton, a leader of the Covenanters, was taken prisoner by the troops of Charles II., and doomed to execution at Edinburgh. He was met by a royalist officer, Dabsell, whc had fought side by side with him in Germany. "I'm sorry to see you here, l'atton," said his old friend, "I'll go to the king for a parj don." "It's of no use ; you'll not get it." j "If he doesn't grant it, I'll never lift mj sword for him again." He applied for it, got it, hastened to Edinburgh with it; and the pitiless lords of the council held it back and left the brave sold| ier to go to the block. I)o we detest them i What, then, shall be said of us, if when | Christ has proclaimed a free nardon to men I we hold it back from their knowledge and : leave them to perish in their sin? The church of Christ, which is partly militant and partly triumphant, resembles a city built on both sides of a river; there ' is but a stream of death between grace and glory.?K. M.

Correspondence of the Yorkvillc Knqnircr. LETTER FROM TEXAS. Turxkrrvitxe, Coryell Co., Texas, Do- I cember 24.?I have been purposing for some . time to write a letter from this section to ! ' the Enquirer, and now 1 will make the | ) attempt. I have been here about nine j months, and, as all my acquaintances know, p have always been subject to asthma. Since , I have been living here 1 feel that I have [ I been entirely cured of that complaint. I ' 1 lmvo hoon troubled hut verv little with it I | since I came here. I have formed the ac- j " quaintanc of several persons who were sul>-1 [ ject to asthma when they came here, all j of whom are entirely well. . j This section of the State of Texas is most- j , i ly prairie. The land is a black, waxy soil, | P and very productive when the season suits, j There is no timber here. The timber, or ! ' brush, resembles in its growth an apple or- j ! chard more than anything else to which I j can compare it. There is plenty of this j ' growth along the creeks and ravines to an- j swer the purposes of supplying fuel, which J | is the only use made of it. For fencing pur- j ; poses, wire is used, with cedar posts. The principal agricultural productions . here are corn, wheat and oats. It is so very dry that this is not much of a cotton coun- i ' try, though I am told that when the season | ; suits, cotton will yield front one bale to a ' bale and a quarter to the acre. Corn nia! tures by the time the drought begins. A farmer can pursue his avocation here | with more ease than any place I have ever ; seen. Here we use all kinds of labor-saving , agricultural machinery, and consequently can cultivate so much more land than by the old methods, that one man can cultivate more land, and with le.ss labor than in the hill country of South Carolina. Though when it comes to picking cotton the farmers have to rely upon the old method of pick^ ing it out by hand, for which the customary ' price is one dollar per hundred pounds. The most serious objction a Carolinian would have to this section is the water, which is limestone, and not very plentiful. So great is the scarcity of water that those living in some localities haul it for several miles; bringing'a supply, of course, at each trip, to last for some time. The water is hauled in barrels, which, on arrival are placed on scaffolds, in the sun, and the water drawn from them as it is needed. There are t few lasting wells, and some fine springs here, hut neitherare as plentiful as in South Carolina. When 1 came here last April there were creeks of running water, but the beds of these streams have been dry since the first of last July. There has not, since that time, been enough rain to start the flow of water in the dry beds. Although there is scarcity of water, what we have is good, and owing to the purity of the atmosphere it does not stagnate, in the the prai4-Ktt rrrAmvl iu un f hnrniKrh 1 v.? 1 l*~ lUUIltiJ biio ^iuuim ?o ow vnwiwM^i??fT drained that there can be but little stand, in^ water. Turnersville is situated on the head waters of Bosque Creek. There is a tine spring here, and that alone renders the location desirable. The population of the village is 75 or more. There are three stores, a postoffice, two blacksmith shops and a good mill in the place. Mr. Robert Suggs, the mayor, is a clever gentleman. His father, Greene Suggs, was a York county man whom many of your readers will doubtless remember. We have regular preaching here, and as to religious services in Texas, they are conducted by all denominations, and as frequently as in the older States. In the one church edifice in our village five ! different denominations worship, viz.: the O. S. Presbyterians, the Cumberland Pres! byterians, the Baptists, the Methodists and the Campbellites. We also have a flourishing school and a temperance council with nearly one hundred members. Our village is quiet, and it and the surrounding country boast a peaceful population. The climate here is delightful. There is a constant breeze from the south nearly all the time. Occasionally we have a "north' or" which is a sudden change of the wind ; from the south to the north, and when a "norther" is blowing, the weather is cold and disagreeable. Fortunately they are of ' short duration and do not occur very fre; quently. As to the heulthfulness of tiie country, I have already given my experience, as decidedly favorable. My advice to any one , suffering with asthma is to move to a prairie country. Here the air is pure and dry. j Mills and cotton gins are scarce and consequently independent. Mills take for toll from one-third to one-sixth, and gins, I am informed, when charging tolls from the 1 crop, take one-twelfth. It requires 1,800 pounds of seed cotton to make a bale of 500 pounds after paying the toll charged by the ginner. Millers will exchange one bushel of meal for two bushels of corn. The best cotton market near here is distant thirteen miles, and a poor market it I is. Waco, forty miles distant, is our best market for cotton. The buyers there do | not do as those at Palestine, complained of 1 by your correspondent, Mr. L. D. Johnson, viz.: take each a large handful and keep it; but in sampling a bale, they take out only a small handful and after examining it, return it to the bale, or throw it down upon | the ground. The people here raise their own provisions out and out, and are consequently self-sustaining and self reliant. While the country ' affords many advantages, it must not be denied that it also has its disadvantages. Owing to the scarcity of timber, houses are 1 necesariy built as small as circumstances will permit, and on a cheap style. For the same reason?scarcity or tiinner?mere are | no stables, cow-houses, corn-cribs, wagon ' sheds or tool houses. Corn is usually put | up in pens, but stock, wagons, farming im! piements, Ac., are almost invariably ex. posed to the weather. There are some fam| ilies who live in tents, and have good health. 1 In the way of fruit, the peach is about the only kind that can be raised with any sue- j ; cess. Apples will not mature here with any ; ' degree of satisfaction ; nor do strawberries I ' and blackberries, while there are only a few I ; grapes. The most profitable industry is stock-raising. ' Game is very scarce. There are a few [ deer, and game birds of all kinds are scarce, j 1 In the way of savage animalsthere are some | wolves and wild cats, but they are disap-1 ' pearing before the advancing emblems of in- i dustry and civilization. ; The people here, unlike those of South i ' Carolina, do not take every man for an lion- j | est man until, by experience, they find out ; better; but on the contrary, they regard ev' cry man as dishonest until he proves, by his j 1 actions to be honest, and I am inclined to | | think that this probationary period usually j | lasts a good while. I venture to say that I have heard more: j profanity since 1 have been in Texas than 1 . ever heard, during the same length of time, j ' in my life. With some exceptions, all, from : the least to the greatest, use profane lan- j l guage. While there are pious people here, ' I am constrained to say that a majority are , profane. .Sunday is generally observed, j though there are people here who unnccessa1 rily perform labor on that day. I have seen a reaper at work on Sunday, and have heard of instances of plowing on that day of rest, . but in our town and vicinity the day is nevi er so desecrated, while we have religious | services every Sunday. . I have not yet been attacked with the j , "Carolina fever," but I am free to say that j . if 1 could have as good health in South Car..llti.i .1^ r lmvn lioiv. I <hmilrl eertninlv re I turn to tin* old .State. 1 should advise no . one to come here to stay permanently, at present, unless health were the object sought.! A land owner in South Carolina would act \ . very foolish, in my opinion, to sell out and move here, unless he merely wishes to ex. change climates. I think this climate is , well suited to persons suffering with asth-! . metic and kindred diseases, and as such has > been my observation, and as I have been , greatly benefitted thereby, I deem it proper to allude to the fact, i T..c?e are no negroes in this part of the State, and, of course, those who have been accustomed to that class of labor miss them. - The white women perform all the domestic ; duties of the household?such as washing, ; milking the cows, etc. I hand is worth from ?2 to $20 per acre, i Corn, :5"> cents per bushel ; wheat (ISand oats 2o cents. Farm hands receive from $15 to i $20 per month. Horses are worth from $25 ; to $125; cows from $12 to $25. Bacon is , cheap. 1 have now given my opinion of Texas,' m .l and I hope no one will he influenced, by what I have written, to move here, unless, as I have said above, they should be seeking a healthful locality. I would advise no one to come to Texas, unless they wish to make a trip for observation. The people here are continually on the move. Immigrant wagons are constantly moving, going cast and west, all looking for a better place. There are people here from all parts of the world? !i mnnv nf them dissatisfied?and the majority of them \vi fling to admit that their old home is hotter than any place they have found. ' C. M.
